For All Who Would Like At Least a Moment of Peace

[Alex01]

I don't do it every day, or even every week, but a trip to www.gratefulness.org (http://www.gratefulness.org) to light a candle can really lift your spirits! I like how they start you off, once you click on the candles on the left side, a little ways down:

"Please take a deep breath
and quiet your thoughts."

That little moment always helps me to center, and slow down my hustle-bustle day. It also helps me to step back and remember the bigger picture, which is always better than the more immediate, smaller one.

"Before continuing,
reflect for a moment
on your reason
for lighting a candle."

I'm so grateful for all of you here, and we know that it does our heart and head good to remember what we're thankful for. This candle-lighting, no matter what your spiritual background, helps to bring our blessings to the forefront.

"Stay here quietly,
as long as you wish,
before continuing."

I don't usually stay that long. Sometimes it's interesting to look at what others are praying for. I've even found people praying for Hillary. People post prayers from all over the world. It's nice to pray for them, too.

Just a thought for a lovely Wednesday afternoon.:)

The URL, http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=hrc, takes you directly to the HRC site (Hillary's "room"). There are currently 211 candles lit for Hillary from 4 countries. During the primaries, there were often 2,000 or more candles lit in her honor. The candles stay lit for two days, gradually "burning" down. It is a very nice site, beautifully done.

It is a very peaceful place to go for a few moments. Highly recommend it.

Thanks, I will bookmark that site. While I was lighting the candle I did feel a moment of focus and clarity. I also appreciated the link to the HRC section and I felt good to light a candle with all the other ones in there.
